Twangfest loves Flickr and so do you. So this year, we want you to give us your best shot—of Twangfest performers, fans, events, parties and/or general twang craziness. You’ll have a chance to win a Twangfest 13 poster and a Twangfest or KDHX t-shirt!

Here’s how it works: Take some great photos at Twangfest 13, upload them to Flickr, and tag them with “twangfest” and “kdhx.” After the festival, we’ll peruse them all and a panel of Twangfest judges will choose the most fantastic photo as our winner. The photographer will get the swag!

KDHX and Twangfest staff are not eligible for this contest.

See you at Twangfest! And don’t forget your camera!

Join us at Euclid Records on Saturday, June 13 @ 4:00 pm for a free in-store performance by Daddy (featuring Will Kimbrough and Tommy Womack), and then come see the band at the Duck Room, Saturday night!
